i can fix the "merit drive" crap if it does.
it's not really merit btw, it's looking for a function that only exists in quantum drives that predates S.M.A.R.T.
i saw it in the code when i was *observing* it's functions.
i dont think it actually needs it though.

I took a quick look, this is a DOS based one, i have too little time, and i need to clean up my mess, i've got people looking at the house this weekend (in the middle of selling/moving etc.) plus my ION Fusion should be delivered saturday and that needs a bit of TLC to get back up & running. I have all the parts ready and can't wait to put them in & play 2014 on it

Edit: This doesn't mean i'll won't try to duplicate the work done on earlier XL versions to this one sometime though

If you want to support me, sign up for Dropbox by using db.tt/05qkhkFLVC. This gets you and me an extra 500MB for hosting roms, or other arcade related files

Ever cracked a DOS version? It has fixup records which need to be patched. When I did it I had to reverse engineer the entire file format and write custom tools. Then someone released Titanium (this was for Platinum I believe)

I also have 2014 cracked I also have the USB board reverse engineered, wooo. I can also decrypt the keys. Only thing I never figured how to do because I don't believe I can, is rewrite keys.

if you have the passwords for each area, that's easy.
it's in the dallas datasheet.
you can sniff the passwords with a logic analyser when the game boots.
i'v done a lot with Emerald, by coincidence it's the same exe used in titanium.

Interesting. I know its a single wire protocol, so that makes sense. I don't know if the usb board can send the raw commands or if you'd need a dallas key thing. 2014 uses 1995 keys doesn't it? Isn't that more secure?
